Coming Soon: Xbox 360 Essentials Pack

Microsoft will soon begin selling an Xbox 360 Essentials Pack that bundles together three popular hardware devices into a single, less expensive package. So if you know someone who needs a new wireless controller, HDMI cable, and Xbox Media Remote, this may be a great choice for a gift this holiday season.

Add all that up and it comes to about $135. Since the Essentials Pack is just $80, that’s a savings of $55. So even assuming you buy HDMI cables at more reasonable prices, it’s a savings. You know, assuming you need the whole thing.
